Apple tipped to launch beefed-up iPhone 5 in March

The new 4-inch iPhone is said to come with Apple’s A9 and M9 processors, NFC chip to support Apple Pay and the same camera system found on the iPhone 6. Apple is going to be having a major event on March 15th where they will announce the iPad Air 3 and the iPhone 5SE.

Apple’s Latest Devices Released Sooner Than Usual? While the next 12-inch MacBook and new iPad Mini are scheduled to be released in the fall of 2016, the three products we’ve told you about in the introduction will arrive next month. At its March 15th event, Apple is also planning to unveil a series of new Apple Watch Sport Band colors, a Space Black Milanese Loop, and NATO-style nylon bands. This is without doubt a good news for smartphone fans and techies who are eagerly awaiting the release of these two devices from Apple. Seeing as the iPhone accounted for 68 percent of Apple’s revenue in the quarter, that lack of growth is notable. The sale of the new iPad Air and new iPhone would start on Friday, with no room for a pre-order phase. iPhones are historically launched with a pre-order. If the reports were true, the launch will be released too soon.

The iPad Air 3 is expected to carry similar features such as the four-speaker setup, and the smart-connector which were earlier seen in the iPad Pro. The new software, which is now tested, may also be introduced in the upcoming March event, including iOS 9.3, watchOS 2.2, OS X 10.11.4 and tvOS 9.2.

Other details surfacing from recent reports indicate a change in strategy from Apple; where previously the company launched the device and offered a pre-order period, it will now make the devices available to retailers, just days after its official launch.
